Daryl Hall & John Oates - Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid (Official Video)

[@mcculljo]

The irony of this video almost 40 years later as it starts with Daryl walking away to play alone. Chills!

[@randyb.hughes4609]

Yes , Sometimes, you Love them Enough to leave them alone.Great song. One of my Top 3 Hall and Oates songs....The Other Two Adult Education and Family Man. A little Off the Beaten Track but still in the Greatest Hits.

[@jonmcclane7433]

One of their most under appreciated songs. Love it.

[@runnerlegend7726]

Agreed! Very underplayed.

[@pfdtx4633]

They have so many gems like this song that aren't on most people's radar. I think I used an Electric Mistress and RAT pedal to get kinda close to the power chord sound on guitar back in the day. I think they're an under appreciated band overall.

Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid

[@arupguha7327]

I just recently found out this song and it's just amazing

[@tuckercarlsonsmicropenis1283]

Yeah, this is one of my favorite Daryl vocals

[@darkshad0wz69]

the song pretty much sums it up for life in general Some things are better left unsaid Some strings are better left undone Some hearts are better left unbroken Some lives are better left untouched Some lies are better off believed Some words are better left unspoken

[@saladincrawford8391]

This was probably their most underrated song. It peaked at #18 pop, #85 on the r&b charts.

[@norfolksouthernrailfan2006]

After this song, their popularity started to decline except for a few more songs, Everything your heart desires #3 in 1988 and So Close #11 in 1990.

[@randyb.hughes4609]

But they sit at number Number One All Time as far as Chart and Sales Pop Duo. It s going to be hard to Dethrone Them....All things Rise, Peak and Fall.

[@davidbalzano7025]

They still managed to get another top 40 hit, Possession Obsession off this album, then Hall had Dreamtime off a solo album and a few more hits came. Their earliest hits were from '73/'74, so overall a pretty awesome run and nice to see the Rock and Roll HOF finally gave them their due.

[@JulieBragg-gl5xw]

Totally agree!❤

[@sharronarturi7958]

Musicians to the core❤❤❤🎉 love Hall and Oates forever 2024🎶‼️👍

[@Michael-yd6wd]

This was one of their best songs. I too hope they can bury the proverbial hatchet on their issues because the two are phenomenal

[@dougkabler3032]

The drum solo is amazing. This song is badly underrated.

[@JohnOrbit]

I remember watching this on MTV in my grandmother's basement. This song still gives me chills. Amazing!

[@TheSolidsoundwavesif]

Chills ❄

[@Loloopy]

This song always comes to mind when I'm about to post something I shouldn't on the internet. Thank you for the life advice Hall & Oates

[@pfdtx4633]

Same here. Song pops in my head when I have doubts.

[@christymaetion8017]

True

[@soniaidalid]

I apply these lyrics often!

[@mcclift9451]

Yea, sometimes all you get is one shot,don't blow it with you mouth and consider the consequences.

[@bdove7939]

Good one

[@micjakes1]

Sucks this never made it high on the charts. This song is amazing. First time hearing it today.

[@cnance1972]

I remember it being my fav song (still top 3) off the album in 84 .... Wow just to be there for one breath

[@johnreece5540]

Maybe a vintage movie will place it on their soundtrack. Thus, creating a wave of interest of Fan's from this current Generation. This song is on of Hall and Oates best.

[@morenomingioni5874]

I loved it til the 1st time I watched video on our Italy Deejay Television 😍 Immediately bought Big Bam Boom album 😍

[@johnlloyd913]

Top 20 still isnt bad to peak on the charts, I think most of it would be because the album was released 5 months earlier. Most people would have had the album by the time this was released as a single

[@Espectro101]

This was like the 3rd or 4th single from the album. I think by this time most people had already purchased the album so that impacts the sale of the single release.

[@TheRedDevil_NC]

Should have atleast 10 million views.

[@carriehadley5123]

I love this song. You never here this one on the radio.

[@baril118]

Daryl Hall is one of the best vocalists ever :)

[@tuckercarlsonsmicropenis1283]

Yes!!

[@lolabean941]

You won't get an argument from me about that!

[@mariovazquez4436]

Yep very underrated

[@jimmy5634]

Actually Johnny Oates has a better voice.

[@scooterthepog3763]

@@jimmy5634 I agree John has a better voice but, Daryl has a voice that anyone could like. He is such a perfect voice for radio hits. In my opinion I couldn’t imagine John singing some of there biggest hits.

[@ryu_street_fighter561]

This is not only the best Hall and Oates song, it's also the best song ever made!!

[@robertwhite9898]

These Lyrics still hold true ! Some things are better left unsaid ! This is prevalent today as it was back then .

[@realdarylhall]

👏

[@EOA2406]

Omg, hi Daryl

[@TurnThatTurtle]

What was your favorite hairstyle that you rocked? 🎸 @realdarylhall

[@boscolebosco1253]

The whole decade was one long parade of one great song or video after another. One fell of the charts or out of rotation and there was another one to take it’s place. I loved it back then, but now I just gape at it in awe and consider myself lucky to have grown up through it.

[@gabrielpalacios624]

The 80s were and still is a party

[@avengerscap]

This song is so underrated--it's my favorite of theirs.

[@sulatlalaki]

This is my favorite song of theirs. Their sense of Melody has always just been so fantastic.

[@ClaireCopeland-n6y]

Me too. Always reminded me of someone I could have had. But let it go

[@sharronarturi7958]

Yes, maybe ❤❤❤ lost the love of my life 😂lol😅

[@tlkon53]

One of their most underrated songs...

[@SLIZZARD]

This is still one my of my favourite H&O songs. The band should play this more when they tour again

[@renebrown7394]

Agreed

🎉​@@renebrown7394

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

I remember they used a camera technique for this video that had never been done before....I always loved this video and song....it's just melancholy and strong....and dramatic....very sixties...as an eighties power observation on core beliefs.....bravo....

[@TheSolidsoundwavesif]

A review made .

[@leonardrice2728]

Daryl and John still rock after all this time!

[@Chippy_The_Chipmunk]

i was there at this concert where this music video was filmed on Feb 27th, 1985. i was up front center in crowd at Hampton Coliseum, Virginia. them filming this music video is really the only thing i remember about the show. we were so excited about being in one of their music videos. i remember they did a few takes before the show. i was 16 at the time. my wife says Darryl was in one of her dad's classes in High School (Owen J Roberts in PA).

[@jaceklubojanski2248]

If I had to choose their best song it would be this one.

[@lisawilliams9504]

This is my favorite song 🎵 by far! 😊

[@JoB-pc8rm]

I grew up listening to these guys. Fact, the golden era of the 80's rock, pop, and alternative are long gone 💯.

My Favorite music Duo of all times hands down. They have made so many beautiful songs. Listen to Daryl's song. Loving you, when you stopped loving me.. omg. So talented

[@jimmacdonald2214]

True often we must keep our mouths shut and say nothing if it's inappropriate. I am learning that at my age of 51 I need to be wise and use discretion when saying things.

[@dieterhauer8619]

The irony of this song now hits with the fallout of Hall & Oates...sad.

[@timepoet77]

Daryl and John had the most underrated yet dynamic band of musicians on their side. You have Charlie, Mickey, T-Bone, and G.E. delivering a kick-ass, power-driven rhythm that took the songs, particuarly this one, to almost ethereal levels rarely heard before or since.

[@ddw76y]

Man, how I love this song. So many time, it pops into my head when I want to make a statement about something. Love the drum play, outstanding.

[@renegaderunner332]

This song was very underplayed!

[@steveretiredandcranky]

Exactly!!!

[@pastamasta69]

DAMN this is a great song... and then it hits 3:50 and kicks it up a notch and becomes epic as hell

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

3:56 that rift though, it just releases you from the suspense. 🤌

[@alexandersmith5429]

I feel like I could run away Looking at a darker day Oh, I'm pulling the shades away from my eyes It's true, moody manners come and go And it's better that you never know Some things are better left unsaid Some strings are better left undone Some hearts are better left unbroken Some lives are better left untouched Some lies are better off believed Some words are better left unspoken My ideas seem to frighten you Are you really that afraid to move? Oh, I guess that it's your right to reason I'm still dealing with a force that's so strong The force is stringing us along Some things are better left unsaid Some strings are better left undone Some hearts are better left unbroken Some lives are better left untouched Some lies are better off believed Some words are better left unspoken You're living a lie, yeah There's say Some things are better left Some things are better left unsaid Some things Some things are better left unsaid Some lies are better Some things are better left unsaid Some hearts, better Some things are better left unsaid Some lies are better Some things are better left unsaid Some things are better left Some things are better left unsaid Some strings Some things are better left unsaid Some lives are better Some things are better left unsaid Some hearts, better Some things are better left unsaid Some lives are better Some things are better left unsaid Some things are better left Some things are better left unsaid Some strings Some things are better left unsaid Some lives are better Some things are better left unsaid

[@Cmart6444]

Hall & Oates were mesnt 2B togheter, no matter their differences, they're better when they work as a team, kind of soul partners, oet hope they bury the hatch soon and start working again as a Duo, there is still plenty of good music to create thoug.....regards from Venezuela folks

[@debbiebrown4420]

I was 23 when this song came out. I enjoyed it. Sometimes, I feel nostalgic for music from the 70s & 80s. I enjoyed Hey Jude in the fall of 1968 at only 7 years old.

One of John’s best songs.He was a bigger part of their music than the average fan realized!

it's a very simple video, but I always liked it!!! seen them in concert at mystic lake hotel and casino in the late 90's and they still rocked!!! I yelled for them to play this song all night and they actually played it later in the set!!! when John oats smiled at me, I know they did it for me and my wife!!! there classy, cool, professional group and still the best of friends!!!

[@fairdose]

This song brings back the spring of 1985 like nothing else for me, remember being in the 6th grade and hearing this on a field trip to Quebec City and feeling apprehensive since it was my last year in elementary school and the following year would mean high school and becoming a teenager and feeling confused about childhood slipping away too quickly.

[@blueangel0925]

Today, October 7th, is a red letter day for me, for the second time. Eight years ago on this day, I found the song Changing Every Day by Culture Club, after not hearing it for 32 years. Today, this song came on the eighties station on Sirius as part of their countdown from 1987, and I was shocked! I have been looking for this song and video since 1987! I watched I Want My 80's on VH-1 Classic for years, hoping they would play it, and they never did. The difference between what happened 8 years ago and what happened today is that I didn't think the Culture Club song existed; I bought the album at my local flea market in 2016 and never thought I would hear it. On the other hand, I knew that this song and video existed because I remembered seeing it at 8 years old. I listened to the eighties station every day for the past 3 years, hoping that I would hear it again, and it finally happened today. I'm going to watch this video and listen to this song until my ears bleed and I drive myself crazy! Well, crazier. 😂
